MEMORANDUM OPINION

BERNARD MARKOVITZ, Bankruptcy Judge.

Debtor’s former wife seeks a determination that certain obligations imposed upon debtor during the course of their divorce proceeding are excepted from discharge by § 523(a)(5) or § 523(a)(15) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Debtor concedes that his obligations to pay alimony and child support to his former wife are excepted from discharge by § 523(a)(5) but insists that the remaining obligations are dischargeable.

We conclude, for reasons set forth below, that all of the obligations in question are excepted from discharge by § 523(a)(5).
